Liz Van Reenen says, I know that there are no mistakes in life. I take more risks because experience has taught me that there really is no risk to living fully. Risk is a perception and a state of mind. I trust life and all that happens a lot more. When I do what’s in front of me and just practice right living, there are miracles in every day. Born with a severe case of shy-itus, Liz had to record her class presentations in high school and be out of the room. She’s not sure how it happened, but Liz van Reenen has been a professional speaker for three years now. She encourages people to get real and celebrate who they are, and reap the benefits of authentic living. There are no limits when you are simply all of you!

Stefan Aarnio is one of Canada’s leading up and coming Real Estate Entrepreneurs and the 2012 winner of Canadian Real Estate Wealth Magazine’s “Joint Venture Partner of the Year”. Starting with only $1200, Stefan has built a multi million dollar portfolio for his partners and has earned himself a spot on The Self Made List. He says, “We do not actually love poetry, music, fine food, travelling, art etc. What we do love is the feelings we get from those things. When I “failed” as a musician, I learned to find all the feelings I loved about music through other activities and am much more happy, successful and wealthy today.” www.freedomway.ca

If you have only tried once, you probably gave up too soon. Never underestimate what you’re capable of. You are in charge of your life, and you are in charge of the choices you made. If they are the wrong ones, own up to them. If they are the right ones, enjoy them.

Karatchuk is a two-time brain tumour survivor and lives with a seizure disorder, and credits her parents for her “Don’t tell me I can’t do it” attitude. Karatchuk is a figure skater, sings and acts.
